Hyaena-Dog fight in Pishin, Balochistan, 1988

Hyaena's (Koga کږه in Pashto) are found in the Suleiman mountain range
but no recent survey exists on their numbers. Pictured is a 1960 stamp
from Afghanistan for the striped hyaena. Also pictured is a striped
hyaena being introduced in the ring in Pishin, Balochistan (1988) before
a public fight against a strong, specially trained dog. (Image by

hunting methods of the animal by experienced hunters known locally as
payloch (naked footers).
